Pros
Industry leading networking technology. Great people throughout the company at the operational levels. This could be a great stepping stone as experienced people are leaving in droves.
Cons
Ken Xie does not understand how to extend innovation outside outside of the products. Internal systems are a decade old and poorly maintained, Basic company building is poorly understood. Awful communication like price changes with 2 weeks notice, cancellation of the Fortinet Championship never internally mentioned, found out about the mass firing of the regional CISO's via LinkedIn. Feedback to leadership is handled poorly. They completely butchered the comp plan, handled the rollout poorly, and still don't actually understand why. The company has shifted from relationship focused to stock price focused and great people are leaving in droves. I left because Fortinet increasingly jeopardized the relationships I built with my customers.
